- ICE: Resign.
- Reposted by Pete ArethasWe have to keep up the pressure. That is how we are compelling the release of the Epstein Files. That is how we saw some House Republicans support the extension of ACA tax credits. And it is how we will protect our democracy and our values.
- Reposted by Pete ArethasSource: DOJ to release Epstein files in theaters showing Melania so that they can be sure that no one will see them.
- Amazing, Spider-Man.
- Had enough? This is disgusting.

- Reposted by Pete ArethasI get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

- Financial markets have been resilient but when the executive branch from the world’s largest economy intentionally breaks … everything, the financial markets will bend and maybe break.
- Reposted by Pete ArethasI know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.
- Reposted by Pete ArethasICE activity has not noticeably tapered off yet here and in fact this week they seem to be focused on terrorizing kids at bus stops and schools.

- ICE deported a 5-year-old US citizen to Honduras, where she had never been, after holding her & her mother in a hotel room 80 miles from home for several days and not allowing them access to a lawyer www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
- This is the Congressional leadership we need.
- Reposted by Pete ArethasAuschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

- It’s upsetting but read this.
- Reposted by Pete ArethasI cannot imagine the devastation this family is experiencing today. This statement is powerful and must be read.
- Reposted by Pete ArethasA video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.
- Reposted by Pete ArethasAlex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.
- The Strib has identified him. Alex Pretti. Another 37-year-old executed for standing up for our immigrant neighbors. For shame. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...
- … live look at Minneapolis. (ICE is wearing the Redcoats.)
- Reposted by Pete ArethasI am asking my fellow Republican and Democratic Governors across the nation to have a unified response. We must all stand against the lawlessness being inflicted in our states.
- Reposted by Pete ArethasIf you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.
- Reposted by Pete ArethasI am doing my best to respond to this without a string of expletives. But let's be very clear. What just happened in Minnesota was cold blooded murder of a civilian by out of control federal agents, aided and abetted by the entire Trump administration and their fascist enablers.
- Minneapolis. Jan. 23, 2026 -10 degrees. A beautiful day to rally for America. #ICEOUT

- You have to read this. A “for profit” school that is being sued for fraud and is funded by Trump financial backers is going to profit off of the children being illegally held in captivity.
